Title: RCBS Rockchuckar press
Post by: quadrafire on September 03, 2010, 01:11:00 PM: I have a chance to buy a used rockchuckar press. Any thoughts on how much I should offer? Lets assume its in good shape. I haven't seen it yet. This is press only. Thanks

Plus shipping.

Yes, it is a super strong single stage press. Not a Herters, but a great press. They hold their value up to $75 for the old ones in good condition.

The new ones are NOT the same. Offer $35-40 and see where that goes.
